    The coolest guitar players always have the coolest guitars. That’s a beautiful PRS. I could literally hear the words coming out of the notes that you were playing.

      I think the coolest players have a guitar. No attachments or special capabilities. Not knocking PRS. Beautiful guitars sound like crap if the player cant play. Honestly. Justin can jam on a cigar box guitar though and make it shine.

    I started learning guitar just about a month ago, at the age of 27, I started learning this song, and a couple of days later. A family member passed in a tragic accident. Every time I play this song I always think of them. And this version is so beautiful. It brought back so many beautiful memories. Thank you for the incredible music you put out!

    Dear Justin-
    This is my favorite song ever written. By my favorite band of all time. My entire family knows how much this song means to me. The day after you published this to RUclips was the one year anniversary of my fathers passing. I cannot begin to describe how mind blowing this rendition is, on top of the insane synchronicity in the timing of you publishing it. I am in tears writing all this just to say, ultimately, THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart. Its as if I’m hearing it again for the first time. 🙏❤️

Such a soothing version. Thanks Justin, you started my new year out great for me. A buddy and myself played this song at one of our deceased buddies celebration of life last summer to remember him. This song brings good, but sad feelings to me. Thanks again Justin.

    Incredible arrangement of one of my favorites. I started to learn to play about 5 years ago at 56, this is the first song I have learned but always felt it needed a bit more as I play alone. You certainly did that and now I get to learn it all over again in your style. Hopefully it won't take another 5 years to get close to your rendition. :)
    Really enjoy what I have found on your channel, I keep sharing your video's with my friends.
